If I do have a secret admirer he's going to have to try a damn sight harder.

I have a very stupid car

Posted on 09:41 - by Macy In: cancer, car

Behold the classic 2002 Mazda MX5! To quote Jeremy Clarkson it's "the ultimate driving experience". Get the specs on this

1,839 cc 1.8 liters 4 in-line front engine with 83 mm bore, 85 mm stroke, 10 compression ratio, double overhead cam, variable valve timing/camshaft and four valves per cylinder
Multi-point injection fuel system
142 HP @ 7,000 rpm; 125 ft lb , 170 Nm @ 5,000 rpm
Wishbone front and rear suspension with stabilizer bar independent with coil springs
Coefficient of drag: 0.38
Leather covered steering wheel
Wind deflector behind seats

In other words it goes fast and is a blast to drive.

BUT

As a two seater, it can just about hold myself, cherub and Ned. What it cannot do is

Accomodate cherub + one other pal
Accomodate two dogs
Allow easy access and exit for anyone with stage 4 bone cancer. To do this, you need to take the roof down and sort of drop them into the seat.

Memo to self, get job, get new car.
